College Players
4. Matt LaPorta, 1b, Red Sox (14)BEST DRAFT-AND-FOLLOWS FOR 2007
3. Brandon Belt, lhp, Red Sox (11)
I am fairly confident that the top ranking is due to Boston’s ability to draft the players that were considered to be tough signs (Bard, Anderson, LaPorta – who will truly be the one who got away). Regardless from a Red Sox fan’s perspective it is good to see that the club is spending their money wisely, but the true results will be seen in the next 3-5 years.
